Dr Martens creative director steps down
09/01/2025
Mr Mckoy, who joined the company in the mid-2010s, shared the news in a LinkedIn post, reflecting on his decade-long tenure with the iconic UK-based footwear brand.
During his time at Dr Martens, he played a pivotal role in the company’s transformation, contributing to its growth from a £136 million business to a £1 billion enterprise. In his post, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to shape the brand as product director and creative director, describing the experience as "extraordinary and life-changing."
Mr Mckoy revealed that his decision to leave was made early last year, citing a desire to pursue new creative challenges. His departure comes amid declining sales for Dr Martens and a broader leadership transition. Ije Nwokorie, currently the brand’s chief brand officer, is set to take over as CEO following Kenny Wilson’s planned exit at the end of 2024.
